PoEs are probably first games I really tried very hard to roleplay, though it is still challenging for me not to metagame (for example I killed Llengrath in PoE1 because I didn't want to miss on the hardest fight in the game, even though reaching a mutual deal, was what my character would be more willing to pursue). By the time I played Fallout: New Vegas, I read more about roleplaying, and decided to do a bit of an experiment, and defined my character before starting the game - and found the experience to be immensely engaging and satisfying. Something I complained about was that I didn't have a character I would care about - while was invested in the conflict of Bhaalspawn, hero of Jade Empire or KOTOR, or Shephard, I found it difficult at first to care about blankslates of KOTOR2, NWN2. Never played or really knew about table-top RPGs at the time, so creating your character, outsided gameplay stats was an abstract concept for me. That was the main hurdle I had to overcome when moving from Bioware games to Obsidian's. However, I do find it necessary to define who my character is (past, personality, personal believes and goals) to enjoy most Obsidian RPGs. I never have defined my character as skillfully as OP (I hate writing my own bio, having to do the same for my character would be just as grueling). Gwreiddyn a Gaelic word that means “root, origin”.Ĭaillte a Gaelic word that means “lost”.Īnam Cara a Celtic phrase meaning “soul friend”. Santach Gaelic word that means “selfish, greedy”.Īnuasal a Gaelic word that means “lowborn, ignoble”. After these harrowing events, Alendra travelled the world aimlessly, with no destination in mind.that is, until she joined a caravan heading to the Dyrwood under the leadership of Caravan Master Odema. Anam Cara sacrificed himself, staying behind so that Alendra could escape. The colonists proved to be far more ignorant and fearful than even Lord Anuasal, and they gathered a mob, complete with pitchforks and torches, to lynch them. Alas, a few years after arriving at the colony, they were found out. As Anam Cara did not wish to return to his tribe, they signed up with a group of colonists and travelled to the Living Lands while keeping their Cipher abilities a secret. However, Alendra does not possess any memories of her previous life.ĭue to ignorant persecution of Ciphers, the two had to leave the heart of the Aedyr Empire.
With the help of an animancer, they also discovered that Alendra and her mother were essentially the same person upon death during childbirth, Gwreiddyn's soul had immediately reincarnated into her daughter. Almost a year after she had been cast out, Alendra was found by a man named Anam Cara, a member of her grandfather’s Glanfathan tribe who had come in search of his long-lost kin, but found Alendra instead.Īnam Cara was a Glanfathan warrior and a Cipher like Alendra herself, and he took Alendra under his wing to foster her, teach her and train her in the ways of the Cipher as well as physical combat. Alendra was forced to survive for weeks and months, begging and stealing for food. Filled with prejudice and fear of her abilities, Alendra’s “noble” father had her, without warning, unceremoniously thrown out of the house and onto the street one rainy autumn morning. Alendra’s maternal grandfather, Caillte, was a Glanfathan tribal who, in the year 2784 AI, had been forced into indentured servitude in House Anuasal for reasons unknown.Īt the age of 10, it came to light that Alendra had the mental abilities of a Cipher, and a powerful one at that. However, as she was a bastard, she did not receive her father’s noble name, taking her mother’s given surname of Davar instead. The bastard daughter of Lord Santach of House Anuasal - an Aedyran noble family - and Gwreiddyn, a housemaid who died giving birth to her, Alendra was raised amongst the nobility for the first decade of her life.
I'm posting it here to show it, and I'd love to hear what people think!īackground: Aristocrat bastard (originally), Colonist. Being an avid roleplayer, I've written a profile and backstory. I've recently created a new character in Pillars of Eternity.
